We had company over the weekend so I was unable to get on and post my workouts for the past few days.
Friday- 3 mile walk with the pup
Saturday- Vertical Loading #2 CL
Sunday- rest day
Today I started Cathe's original STS, Meso 2 and did Disc#13 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. I want to lift slow and heavy for the next month and this workout series fits the bill. Workout was 65 minutes and I did really well with the weights. I like the 1-minute break between sets, and I love the pace. I will skip the leg workouts because they bother my knees and do my own thing or just walk, use my Max Trainer or the elliptical machine.
Belinda, great job with the workouts over the weekend. That is such a funny story about the goats on the road! I love goats, I grew up with them and would love to get some more again.
Debbie, I like the series you were talking about, and yes, these slow and heavy workouts are longer in time, I think because of the rest periods. However, this is my favorite way to train and to see results. I need more muscle mass; I have lost quite a bit and would love to get it back again. I will do it!
Daine Sue, that is weird about the pain you were having and the high blood pressure. Did you get the Covid vaccine? The medical community is starting to see a lot of issues now due to the protein that was left in the body. If you did not, I wonder what is causing that to happen? I hope you are feeling better. I love that you dog is settling in and is happy to go in and out of the doggy door.
Roselyn, let us know what you think of the new app you are going to try. I love Caroline's workouts and would be curious what you think of the new way of getting the workouts. Great job on the Max day workout!
Have a wonderful day. My dog got stung by a bee on his foot while I was working out and I have to make sure he is ok. I gave him Benadryl and some pain meds but I have to see if I can find the stinger. Poor guy he is limping around the house...

Today I did RAW Heavy Bag/Shadow Boxing. This is my favorite workout that has her son Zach in it.
Workout was 37 minutes, burned 341 calories, did 2658 steps and HR was 151/185.
Great workouts everyone! I don't have time for personals today.

Today I did Raw Arms, 22 minutes, 95 calories, Raw Boxing Finisher, 17 minutes, 101 calories, heart rate 127/160, and LMR functional Pilates timesaver #1 foam roller, 22 minutes, 51 calories. Total time 61 minutes, 247 calories. My arthritis doctor messaged me back and said to stop the med and see if my blood pressure goes back down. It is rather obvious on my blood pressure monitor app as two months ago I was almost always in the green normal zone and then it just started going up to elevated and stage 1 and I hit stage 2 a few times. It was almost normal this morning and I am wondering if the folic Acid that I started Saturday helped. I read that it can help Methatrexate side effects so gave it a try for Leflunomide. I will have to take a couple of days off workouts this week for an appointment and a birthday party for great grandsons first birthday.
Raw Arms 21:59 minutes
Biceps and Triceps of 4 exercises 10 reps each done in 4 rounds and then a finisher round at the end
Kelly uses 20,'s 15's and 10's (mostly 20's for biceps)
Front curls 15# dbs x 10reps
Overhead triceps extensions 10# dbs x 10
Hammer Curls 15# dbs x 10 reps
Kickbacks 10# dbs x10reps
All moves are done 4 times (one of the rounds she forgets the triceps extensions so ads it in before and after the round)
Finisher round was supination/press back wide to curl/press down 10# dbs
stretch
Belinda, nice work on STS 2 Body Parts Shoulders today. I saw a calf one time running up the road howling and wanting to get back on the other side of the fence. Poor thing. At least the goats are okay.
I printed up that rotation when Cathe emailed it. Thinking it looked like something I would like to do. My time seems to be reduced lately so getting in decent workouts is harder.
Roselyn, nice work on Max Day 2 focus on legs and delts.
Jolie, good job getting in the walk, CL Vertical Loading #2, and today's STS 2 Meso 2 disc 13 Chest, Shoulders and Triceps. No, I never got a Covid Vaccine. I think it is the Arava/leflunomide that the arthritis prescribed. High blood pressure is somewhat of a common side effect. Also, I was reading up on the drug and it blocks DNA. I only gave in for the med because pain has gotten worse and I am worried about the destruction of organs and joints that the arthritis does. Every problem health wise that I have can be caused by the RA destruction. Heart health the said RA. I have always eaten healthy and worked out, not overweight at all. Lung nodules and bronchiectasis RA can cause, and it just seems to keep going. I need it slowed down. The arm pain thing was really odd as it was sudden, and my husband was getting worried when I jumped up and was pacing holding onto my arm. I couldn't move it around without making it worse for a while. The arthritis doctor said I need to go have the C7 Vertabrae partial compression checked. Well that was helpful since he is a doctor, right?
